Why They Danced.


The police have just been appraised o
little adventure which a short time
ago befell Mr.. John Kelkenny, the we'll
known South Thirteenth street liquor
dealer. The story. though trine
"chestnutty," is given as related at pc
lice headquarters.
One night tall roughly drassed fel.
low, whose style of costume showed that
he was a cowboy, etepped into Kelken-
ny's saloon. He was plainly under the
influence of liquor. Throwing his hat
back on his head. he staggered up to
the bar and asked:
BE you the proprietor of this yere
placer"
II guess am, replied Mr.. X. calm
ly.
"Well. them" drawing a big revolv-
er from his belD, want to see you
dance little for me!'
"But can't dance" returned the
proprietor, keeping as calm demean-
or as he could under the circumstan-
ces.
YES yer kin. Yer bet you'll have
to ii / say so," replied the drunken
cowherder, brandshing his gun threat
eningly.
Mr.. X. thought of the ancient max
i'm, that discretion was the better part of
valor and coming out from behind the
bar went through all the dance steps he
could think of. He flung his feet in
lively style for ten minutes before the
cowboy was satisfied.
'That'll do. now," said the latter.
81 guess yer all right. Now gi' me a
horn of your best whisky"
Mr.. Kelkenny obeyed with an alacri-
ty which was born of desire to please
a dangerous customer. AS the cowboy
was enjoying the whisky John looked
carelessly at the revolver and remark
ed
Fine revolver you've got there"
Eyes, replied the cowboy, evident
ly tlattered, '.it's daisy"
Let me look at 1t minute, will
you?' asked Kelkenny, pouring out
another glass for the cowboy,
Certainly" replied the cowboy,
handing over the weapon with one
hand and selling the glass with the
other.
He never drank the whisky, for as
soon as Mr.. X. had the weapon in his
hand he pointed it at the cowboy and
uttered the stern command. Now you
dance" and he put the cowboy through
all the PAGES imaginable, fast and slow.
For half an hour he was compelled TO
keep his feet gong at the point of his
own weapon. When the ordeal was
over he skunk out of the saloon, very
tired and ashamed but a wiser man.
He was minus his revolver. omaha

The Growth of Our Cities.

lation of the principal cities of the
Union, as estimated in each case by the
Mayor or some other officer of the
municipal government, being guided in
many cases by recent censuses. New
York, with l, 400, 900, and Philadelphia,
with 1000, 900, hold first and second
places undisputed. Brooklyn, claiming
10000, and Chicago. 703, 900. stand
next in order, and il is evident that the
former VII give way when the next

ton seventh with 400,0 200. In 1880 in
these cities the order was reversed.

former. New Orleans ranks next with

and at its rate of progress will soon
overhaul New Orleans. Washington,

land $50. Detroit is estimated at 49,

Before half an hour had passed the

share which Tommy was given repre-
Sented little more than somewhat
liberal salary, but he was included as a
partner in the branch firm of HodgSon,

soon as that partnership deed was
drawn up and executed Tommy return,

with the Count, who, imagining that
he had misconceived the young mans

wealthy house of English bankers was

months the marriage was celebr ated.

For Good Purposes.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin of Philadelphia, is well
known to the ladies of that city from the great
good she has done by means ofLyda E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham of recent interesting case. "a
young married lady came to Inc suffering with
a severe case of PrOlapsus and liberation. She
commenced taking the Compound and in two
months was .Iaa'y restored. In proOfof this she
soon found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted to
eyade the responsibilities OF maturity. After
ten or twelve days she came to me again and
she was indeed in a most alarming state and
suffered terribly. I gave her tablespoonful
of the compound every hour for eight hours
until she fell asleep, she awOke much relieved
and evidently better. She continued taking
the Compound, and in due season she became
the mother OF fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use OF the medicine she believes her
life would have been lost"

Records In Purple Ink.

During Gen. Grants term as president one of his cabinet officers discovered that the records of an important branch of one of the departments had been for two years written in purple ink. He at once issued an order forbidding it's use in the department, purchased a new set of books, into which two years records were copied, and thus saved what in a few years would otherwise have been lost. It is one of the problems of chem istry to find something which will make permanent the beautiful aniline colors, but thus far all efforts have failed. It is growing more and more the custom to have deeds, contracts and valuable docu- ments printed on typewriter in aniline ink. This is a great mistake, because in a few years they are sure to be obliter- ated.-The Argonaut.

The Beginning of the End

The beginning of disease is a slight
 debility or disorder of some of the vital organs, the stomach, the liver or the bow els usually. There are dyspeptic symp- toms, the liver is troublesome, the skin grows tawny and unhealthy looking, there are pains in the right side or through the right shoulder blade. The climax is often an utter prostration of the physical ener- gies, perhaps fatal issue. But if the difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's s Stomach Bitters, which is always effect i've as remedy, and it should be resorted to at all early stage, there will be no reason to apprehend those injurious sub sequent effects upon the system often en- tailed by entirely cured diseases. Far better is it, also, to employ this safe rem edial agent in fever and ague, and other malarial complaints, than quinine and other potent drugs, which even when they do prove efectual for time, ruin the stomach and impair the generalhealth,
